All my native tiles still work, as does WeatherFlo, Facebook, Skype, Weave. These really are the only live tiles I use.
EDIT: And I have been on this phone since November.
I've owned an HD7, Titan and now a 920. All phones, on all versions of WP exhibited this issue.
Integrated apps (email, SMS, etc.) do not have have any issues. 3rd party apps are hit and miss. Some apps, like GroupMe, CNN, Appointile work as advertised. Other apps, like Amazing Weather HD, Markets & Me, Twabbit, etc., stop working randomly. Sometimes a soft reset fixes it, sometimes I have to uninstall/reinstall, and sometimes only a hard reset will fix it.
How is it that so many developers seem to have problems with this particular feature?bad developer coding.
I think You have to open the app every once in a while to keep the background task alive.

Well lucky for you guys whose native live tiles are updating after 30seconds. My lumia 820, a brand new one, all live tiles stop animating/working/updating after 30seconds! I am totally disappointed. I have tried factory reseting my phone. still the problem persists. Also take note i haven't downloaded anything, unistalled pre-loaded nokia apps and only the ME tile on the start screen and guess what, after 30 seconds it stops animating. same is true with the people tile. I need help with this one too

A) Livetiles only update a max of every 30 minutes.Well lucky for you guys whose native live tiles are updating after 30seconds.

I've read somewhere that only the first 7 (or so) can be Live Tiles on the homescreen, and the remaining ones just stay updated when you open them.
Can someone confirm?
There are 2 limitations on live apps:
1) if the app hasn't been opened at least one time in 15 days, live tiles and background tasks will stop until the app is opened.
2) if there are more than 6 background apps WITH live tiles, only top 6 will work.
